Awesome pizza right in town. Affordable too. I got the Molokai pizza and it was great, ate half for dinner and the other half for breakfast. Can’t go wrong.

Always the best place to get a reasonable priced meal in Molokai. Good atmosphere. Great service, great pizza, sandwiches & love, love the huli huli chicken. They have a wonderful Prime Rib on weekend and Wednesday is Mexican food night.

It’s too bad there is no way to give 0 stars! The service was the worst! The women working the register are rude!
So we ordered our pizza to go and asked for red pepper flakes and garlic powder, to which the cashier said they were out, meanwhile I’m staring at 2 large containers of both next to some to-​go cups directly behind her. Needless to say she was not happy when I pointed them out. To add insult to injury the wait was long and the pizza was not worth it.

Good food. Kind of expensive. Customer service could use work. There was someone by the name of Kayla who took our order and was annoyed that we were confused by the contradictory things she was telling use about the menu. Foods good though. Been the same since I was in highschool.

Pizza here is much better than I expected. It’s better than any big chain pizza for sure.
Here’s a tip. Try the pizza with crab and Alfredo sauce.

I actually liked the pizza at this place. It’s not fancy pizza but I don’t agree with the person who said it’s on par with the national pizza delivery joints. Food on Molokai is closer to home-​style cooking, which can be bad sometimes. But I felt Moloka’i Pizza Café was one of the better restaurants we went to. Server was friendly and attentive. We had the Oahu on the regular crust, which is a basic pepperoni with some veg, but it was good and the small (8 slices) was about $ 15, not bad for 2 people. They’re open 7 days a week, which is a plus in a town like Kaunakakai (seems like everything closes on Sundays). The salads are basic iceberg with packaged dressing but hey, sometimes you need a plant with your pizza. I didn’t mind it and after that hike up Kalaupapa, some pizza and salad hit the spot. Of the eateries available on Moloka’i, I’d come here again and be satisfied with it.
Tip: like most establishments on Moloka’i, cash only.

Average diner feel with huge portions! My bacon cheese burger was about 7″ around!!! The veggies (tomato lettuce & onion) were crisp & my husband loved his teriyaki burger

We didn’t like the quality of the food or the crowd. Seemed like we were back home but sitting in a pizza place in south bronx. Pretty weird crowd of people just letting their kids run wild, felt a little ghetto. My chef salad had lunch meat chopped all over it in a giant mound. More meat and cheese than lettuce and veggies. I picked off the meat and ate the lettuce. My fiancé had the nachos, they were pretty stale, and his roast beef had about an 1″” thick of provolone on it that he had to scrape off. I left kinda grossed out. The bathroom was also extremely sewagey smelling. When we go back to Molokai we are skipping this place!

We stopped for lunch several days ago and was pleasantly surprised with our pepperoni and pineapple pizza, thin crust. Very tasty. People were very friendly and we did not wait long at all. We will go back.

Hard to rate this place. Can’t compare it to mainland places or even to places on the other islands. They have so much less to work with. With that said we ordered the Oahu and pizza sticks with ranch dip.
We were completely satisfied. Good flavor, pizza sticks were good, and we were very full after.
If your expectations are the best pizza you have ever had, or on par with Boston’s then you will not like this place.

Meh! Food is kinda poor quality. Pizza had canned mushrooms on it. Salad was pretty terrible, dressing comes in packets. Service was fast and friendly. Note: cash only

Horrible service and the pizza tasted like it was cooked in a microwave. The area is not visitor friendly and neither were the staff

Love this place! Had a pizza at lunch which was wonderful and a burger for dinner which was really good too (fries could’ve been cooked more). Staff was very helpful and friendly.
They have wonderful wooden art pieces (vases and tea lights).
Beware — CASH ONLY.
Restrooms are clean and there are games for kids and sufficient parking. Make sure you stop by if you’re on island.

I had the BBQ half chicken. Good BBQ sauce but, guys we need to work on cooking rice. Way under cooked. Not sure what kine cooker you have but, if you need help and if you see this message, contact me.

Not sure if it was because I was extremely hungry after the plane ride or because it was actually delicious, but the Tuesday chicken dinner special made my taste buds very happy. My mom had a burger which she seemed to thoroughly enjoy and my dad had some baked fish. Also tasty. Didn’t have any pizza, but the booth next to us ordered one and it looked quite amazing. I tried to get the family back there for a pizza dinner during the trip, but it unfortunately didn’t work out. I think pricey meals are not uncommon on Oahu. They only accept cash which was a major bummer.

Our guide book said this was a good place to eat so we stopped it. I got a slice of cheese pizza. It was pizza but nothing special. We shared some mediocre breadsticks that we dipped in the «zesty red» marinara sauce that was not zesty. My husband got their pizza burger but described it as soggy and gross.
The staff was friendly enough but our waitress got most things wrong the first time around. Asked for chips and got fries, asked for ice and got a totally empty glass.
This place seems like the next restaurant to be on kitchen nightmares. They have pizza and Mexican food day, ice cream bar treats and prime rib nights. If a restaurant is doing something really well they should just stick to one thing. We were able to eat something and they did try but there is no way we will eat there again. I’m very confused by the people who gave this place 5 stars. They may have never eaten good food before or they work for the restaurant and get paid to give it good reviews.

There isn’t much on island, and we needed a break from Molokai Drive Inn. We came in, the service was very friendly. I got a slice of cheese pizza and a side ceaser salad. Would never order the salad again, it came with a Kraft packet of dressing, instead of a homemade recipe.
The pizza was aiight, and had a sweet marinara that was actually very palatable. Got out of here without spending more than $ 10 including tax and tip.

Parking: private lot plenty of parking
Cost: $ 12 to $ 31 for large pizza
Restroom: yes in the restaurant
The food: the Oahu and cheese pizza
Their pizza is alright. Similar to a dominos or Pizza Hut. There is plenty of places to sit inside. I thought that they could have given more toppings and I thought that $ 31 for a large pizza was a little excessive. Not bad if you want pizza but did not think that it was worth the price.
Overall, mediocre pizza that’s expensive

They are open late, which is nice when all other restaurants tend to close early.
We ordered seafood and something (pepperoni, peppers, mushrooms), half and half.
We liked the seafood one very much, it was tasty beyond our expectation.
Yes, as someone said earlier, you have to adjust your expectations when in Molokai. No competition, this is the only pizza place :)

If you are looking for good pizza on Molokai, this is not the place to go. But credit needs to go to this place for those who are looking for a later bite to eat because they arrived on a flight whose tire popped upon landing. They were the only place open after 8PM and there were a small number of other patrons dining at this pizza joint.
As for the staff, they weren’t the friendliest. It may have had something to do with the fact that my wife and I came in close to closing time asking for food because we were starving. The food was average. We had a pepperoni pizza and salad. Nothing special, but it seemed great because of how hungry we were. Hindsight allowed me to realize how average the food actually was.
Overall, I don’t think I would ever be eating at this place if I had the option, but being that it is the only late night food that’s not Kanemitsu’s Bakery (after 8PM), you can’t dislike this place too much.
